Intravaginal Ultrasounds
Intravaginal Ultrasounds (or Intracolpical Ultrasounds) are specialized imaging examinations used to evaluate the internal reproductive organs of women, such as the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. This examination involves inserting a thin ultrasound probe into the vagina, allowing for high-resolution images of the internal structures.
They are applied in the following cases:
Evaluation of the Uterus:
Detection of fibroids, polyps, and other endometrial abnormalities.
Assessment of endometrial thickness and texture, particularly in cases of menstrual disorders.
Examination of the Ovaries:
Detection of cysts, tumors, and other abnormalities in the ovaries.
Monitoring ovarian activity in cases of infertility or during infertility treatments.
Assessment of Pregnancy:
Confirmation of intrauterine pregnancy.
Evaluation of embryo and amniotic sac development in early stages of pregnancy.
Detection of ectopic pregnancy.
Diagnosis of Fallopian Tube Disorders:
Evaluation of the presence of hydrosalpinx or other fallopian tube abnormalities.
Advantages of Transvaginal Ultrasounds:
High Clarity: Provides more detailed images of reproductive organs compared to transabdominal ultrasound.
Non-Invasive Method: The examination is painless and safe, without the use of ionizing radiation.
Real-Time Results: Images and information are available immediately.
